Staff members are be allocated a House and will show support during in House events for that House. Our House system supports the values we have for our children and community in the following ways:

to strengthen pastoral care – especially vertically (Y1-6)
to provide opportunities for students to develop social and leadership skills
to develop school pride, involvement and participation
to represent a family within the whole school community
to create an opportunity for cooperation and competition
